WARMTH OF THE "SPRING OF LOVE" VOLUNTEER PROGRAM AT KEO PAGODA MONASTERY

On February 7, 2018, Keo Pagoda Monastery in Thai Binh organized the "Spring of Love 2018" charity gift distribution program. A total of 105 gift packages were handed directly to families facing difficult circumstances and victims of Agent Orange in the communes of Duy Nhat, Vu Tien, Hong Phong, and Vu Doai.

For generations, the people of Vietnam have been known for their tradition of mutual support: "The healthy leaf wraps the torn leaf." To continue this beautiful tradition of compassion and solidarity, and in celebration of the Lunar New Year, the Keo Pagoda Monastery has made gift-giving an annual event. With a heart full of empathy, they aim to share the challenges of families in need and victims of Agent Orange. This act of charity is a noble gesture in keeping with the Buddhist principles of compassion, alleviating suffering, and spreading joy.

During this program, 105 gift packages, each worth 500,000 VND, were distributed directly to the underprivileged families and victims of Agent Orange in Duy Nhat, Vu Tien, Hong Phong, and Vu Doai communes.

The program was made possible with the generous support of various organizations and individuals, including the Red Cross Society of Vu Thư District, the Merit Gathering Association of Keo Pagoda Monastery, the Tra Ly Spinning Company in Thai Binh City, Mizusawwa Milk Tea Shop in Thai Binh City, and other kind-hearted sponsors.
